This 1979 Datsun 310 hatchback is finished in white over red velour upholstery and is powered by a 1.4-liter A14 inline-four linked with a four-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes 13″ steel wheels, fender-mounted mirrors, a vented hood, a push-button AM/FM radio, and aftermarket auxiliary gauges. The car was acquired by the seller in 2016, and the clutch disc, pressure plate, and front wheel bearings are said to have been replaced in preparation for the sale. This 310 hatchback is now offered with an owner’s manual, a car show award, a magazine feature article, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
